Quick News

People don't need to wait forever no, but we are living in a time where every one expects everything yesterday and an age of crushing impatience.

I can't tell you how many times I have had a full basket on OCUK/Amazon full of Ryzen gear, then seen it rationally and realised I'm a buffoon.

Instead I went off to the Nike store yesterday and bought £700 worth of clothes/trainers etc for £290.

I bought my Fury X at launch. I got it the first week in a bit of luck. I don't need a GPU is the short answer. The rather longer answer is even if I did it would be more than competent enough to last me until next year even if Vega took that long.

What's funny is that all of the so called Vega release dates have been urban myths, and people are saying stupid stuff like "Couldn't wait any more bought a 1080" like they are punishing AMD for not releasing on the BS date they probably invented.

lol couldn't wait for AMD to release on the date they never ever said they were going to release on, so I punished them by buying Nvidia.

The only person they will hurt is themselves. In fact, they already have by over paying Nvidia.

This news is false, I know what the transcript says and it is not that. Whoever first reported this took things way out of context?

Thanks for the update. I'm reading your article now.

I wonder if AMD had given us clearer performance metrics before now, would people have been more willing to wait? So if we knew that Vega was more powerful than the Nvidia competitor at a cheaper price, would everyone just say 'wait it out'?

But imagine if AMD did that and the performance was clearly above Nvidia in even the 1080Ti category, would Nvidia preemptively reduce the prices of their cards so that consumers who were waiting for Vega saw a 1080Ti for £550-600 and said 'screw Vega, £600 for that kind of performance is great!'?

At the end of the day people will buy what they want with their money. I find your attitude childish for an adult you should know better

Woah woah woah, now we're on insults? don't get annoyed at me for calling it how it is. You stated that you needed a GPU now - fair enough. You then stated that you could not possibly wait any longer because basically you couldn't hold onto the money until then. Which completely lacks any self control.

I don't care what you do with your money dude. Count it, spend it, burn it at the bottom of the garden. Not my problem really is it?

I just find it annoying that people have no self control and then try and blame it on AMD.

I've stated the facts in one of my previous posts. And they are the facts and pretty much the only real truthful statements out there about Vega that you will find.

I'm impulsive, I'm impatient, I lack total self control and every month I spend every single penny I have down to about 30p in my bank. I know that, I can admit it. At least I can admit that. I don't go around blaming it on a company though.

If I really wanted Vega I would wait for it, as I can exercise self control when I feel it's really needed.

And BTW, it's not really my attitude that's childish is it?

"Mum mum some kid just made me do something I didn't want to and it's all X's fault !"

Come on fellas, it's niether here or there.. back biting and baiting each other is getting us nowhere and makes us all look a little daft. Take a step back and a deep breath before mods have to intervene and time outs are awarded.
